If the external drive is formatted with NTFS (windows default format) then the Mac can't see it. To share a hard drive between a Mac and a Windows PC the drive must be formatted in FAT 32 or extra drivers need to be added to one or both of the computers. Search this forum for "FAT32 format" to find a link to a program that can format large drives (over 32 GB) to FAT 32.
